Two of my favourite City Council candidates were fabulous last night 🏳️‍🌈 @caitlinstockwell.bsky.social @jagglund.bsky.social

Mike Harcourt was my first political hero as a young person growing up in Vancouver. Getting to know him during this campaign been a privilege and a joy, and I deeply appreciate his support and endorsement.

Fighting climate change and fixing our streets—we can do both.

We want to build things to last, not continue to make unnecessary choices between protecting people from dangerous heat and filling potholes. ABC’s 'zero means zero' budget really means fewer services for everyone. OneCity will change that.

Carney and Eby: stop pushing through new fossil fuel projects that are making climate change worse.

BC Climate Emergency Campaign@bcclimateemergency.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This week is the 5th anniversary of the BC heat dome that killed 619 people. Meanwhile, thousands are dying worldwide due to extreme heat. It's devastating. The BC gov't needs to do better. The best way? Stop approving new fossil fuel projects that are making climate change WORSE. #bcpoli

Prime Minister Carney says the war in Iran was "worth it". I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

Well done, @ndp.ca!! 56% on the first ballot 🧡 @avilewis.ca I am so proud of you -- and excited to collaborate to bring a bold vision for social justice, climate action, and public options to all levels of government.

Well put @stewartprest.ca. "So, how does the city move on from this moment? Councillors cannot trust the mayor. Voters can’t trust him either. That is why I think it is best for everyone, including Sim, for him to accept full responsibility, and do so in a way that shows he means it: by resigning."

This morning, Ken Sim and ABC killed Vancouver’s Social Housing Initiative, which would’ve allowed more non-market housing, like co-ops, social housing, supportive housing, to be built faster. Vancouver needs a City Council that will take action on affordable housing, because Ken Sim and ABC won’t.
